Very sad ping... YaYa123 was a rare gem...

Thanks for the ping. Sad to hear of her passing. She was a gem indeed. I was just thinking about her the other day. Tends to happen when I peruse through older threads and she was one of the main posters back in the early days of FR.

Thank you for the thread SuzanneC & everyone for the memories (and esp photos to this graphic nut here) on this remarkable woman who was there for her family, her friends and her country

The good memories of life are the glue of sanity and there are abundant ones in FReeperland for YaYa123

Her example of activism tempered with respect & good manners is one we all need to observe AND emulate

My memories of her are in my earlier postings, not having discovered FR until 2003. I treasure the times now that I can get together with my FR friends.. in DC, local trips but keeping close on line is the start

Keeping respectful & taking the higher ground is vital. It is good to see some friends here again.. many are scattered here & there for now but it is always nice to come back to a place where the soul & mind were titillated with friendship & intelligence.

And your soul is with your creator dear YaYa123.......
